Three Kingdoms isn't good, also has horribly looped Mandarin dialogue. Batle of Wits is okish, but it has the dubious honour of being the only action film with Sammo on board as action-director I've seen that has dull, edited-to-buggery fight sequences! Both films are completely disposable and unlikely to inspire you to revisit them.

Yeah it was pricey but sometimes in the absence of any decent western release you just have to pay the price.£20 isn't going to bankrupt me.Anyway if Romero shared his secret of amazing bargains with us all we'd be getting any BD we want for less than a tenner every time

"An Empress and the Warriors" is to me a 2.5/5. It has that dull comedy romance and over-the-top drama in it. To me the film is a mixed bag, as if it doesn't know what it wants to be, because there are also darker themed elements in it.

Welcome to BnB

Thanks!

I liked Great Conqueror's Concubine quite a bit, but then again any time Gong Li is on the screen I'm captivated. It's a long, long movie (3 hours +) with a good cast, lots of huge battle scenes and conniving mistresses and warlords. Everything you'd want from a historical epic. You can find both parts currently on eBay for a relatively good price.
